Give your wrist a rest by playing the verse in the 1st position.
Play the (instrumental) melody in the 3rd position - with a C, Csus2 and Fmaj9, barring 
the 3rd fret.

I found an easy way to get the chorus instrumental solo - use the 3rd position C chord, 
barring the 3rd fret. To get the solo, it's all about lifting your 4finger (pinky) and 
plucking progression.


The trick is to transition between the 1st and 3rd position chords one bar before the 
melody, or vise versa.

The 3rd position C is 335553
The 3rd position Csus2 is 335533 (i.e. lift the pinky off the B string)
The 3rd position Fmaj9 is 535533 (i.e. give the low E string the middle finger - fuck 
you E string)




For the verse (1st position C, F, G & Am);
Pluck the 2nd string singularly and then the [4th and 5th] together. Alternate and keep time.



verse i


C (<--- 1st position)
Is it really that much sweeter

                           F
On the other end of that receiver

              Am         C
No need to convert a believer

        G      C    Am
I'm already yours

Someone who mates to become one
I'm already yours

verse iii

Well I always said don't mind me
But your love always seems to find me
It's always creeping up behind me
I was never yours
I was never yours
